Aretiico Becomes First UK-Based Certificate Authority to Achieve WebTrust Accreditation
Building sovereign, standards-based trust infrastructure
This achievement makes Aretiico the first Certificate Authority headquartered in the UK to earn WebTrust accreditation, a vital requirement for participation in the global public trust ecosystem.
WebTrust is a globally recognised audit developed by CPA Canada and the AICPA. It verifies whether a CA follows internationally accepted best practices in areas like security, identity validation, certificate management, and governance. In short, it proves a CA can be trusted to help keep the internet secure.
“Achieving WebTrust accreditation is a critical step in our mission to build sovereign, standards-based trust infrastructure,” said Richard Parris, CEO of Aretiico. “This is not just a compliance milestone — it’s a signal that the UK can lead the way in creating trustworthy, scalable, and future-ready digital ecosystems. The importance of this milestone for the UK cannot be overstated.”
In an era where digital identity is rapidly becoming central to daily life — powering everything from online banking to government services — having a sovereign, independently operated Root CA within UK jurisdiction ensures greater control, security, and resilience. It removes the need to rely on external parties that may present jurisdictional or operational vulnerabilities.
Choosing a WebTrust-backed CA is essential for digital trust — but choosing a sovereign one adds a powerful new layer of control, resilience, and independence.
